The fact is we were missing a CHF all game. While miller was getting beaten by pavlich all game, we had a defender on the bench who wasn't given a 2nd chance.
Why didn't Daniher move Miller to CHF (where he belongs) and give an up and coming defender a chance to play on pavlich? Why wasn't our best defender bizzell or rivers ever placed on pavlich? Pavlich is not like barry hall where he takes a lot of contested marks. he leads well and takes good chest marks.
This is where i say we lost it. We lost the game because we had no structure. Without structure our players running tirelessy for no result.
Yes i agree Holland kicked 5.1, however he is too slow to put pressure on defenders. He can't take a pack mark, and boy did we see it when he had 3 shots on goal in the 2nd, one didn't make the distance and the other was a disgraceful point when he was straight in front.
With white's hitouts mostly ineffective all game it couldve been wise to give another ruckman a shot. This is where i think Daniher made another coaching mistake. Why not play Paul Johnson our 3rd ruckmen, to be able to add more flexibility to our lineup. Wouldve allowed Johnson to go up forward and white every now and then, and let me tell you id rather see those two up forward than holland.
Lets all just note how useless holland was when neitz didn't play our last 5 games last year.
